"I had TAF Land Management come to look at the job of putting a ditch in to eliminate or ease the washing and gullying of a specific area in my front yard. Showed him the area and how it was washing. The yard has no mulch on it because the mulch washes into the ditches. He acknowledged his understanding of the issue and quoted me a price for the ditch and the mulch. The mulch price was too high of a price for me, so that was eliminated from the quote and he was awarded the job for the cost of $9,975 which I paid by personal check. When he had the rock delivered it was rock for hardscape and not for ditches. We both agreed it was the incorrect rock. He had the correct rock delivered, which he had placed on my gravel driveway since the other rock was piled on the easement. To remove the rock on my gravel driveway he used a machine with a bucket to scoop the rock which damaged my gravel driveway. He completed the work and I had a few minor issues. He placed the dirt he removed on my neighbors property and I have a big pile of rocks left which I had him pile at the top of the driveway. He told me he was going to haul the dirt away. I asked him to move the dirt and he said if the neighbor complained he would move it. He completed the work and I asked him to repair the driveway and asphalt that was damaged by the dumping of the rocks. He tried to repair the asphalt and told me that once it rained all the dirt would wash away and the driveway would be fine. If the rain didn't fix it, he said he would come back with gravel and repair the driveway. We had a significant rain storm on the evening of July 9th and the ditch he installed did not correct my drainage issue. The ditch was not placed far enough in the side of the yard to collect the rain water that was creating the wash and gullying in my yard. I contacted him the morning of July 10th and he told me that the mulch would correct the issue. The whole reason I had the additional ditch put in was to stop the mulch and dirt from washing in my existing ditch. The yard does not have mulch on it because it washes in the ditch and I was waiting for the ditch to be completed. I sent him pictures of the gully and wash that was happening and he said he would stop by July 10th. I have texted him and called him and left voicemails and am not getting a response which is highly unusual. When he was working here he had his cell phone on him and was answering immediately. I have a company coming to put the mulch down next week. I need to have the ditch extended and the driveway repaired before they put mulch down."

FAQs for excavation projects in Ellenboro, NC

Unfortunately, some plumbing scenarios, like a broken sewer pipe repair, will require excavation to complete the job. Plumbing excavation costs range from $30 to $70 per cubic foot. However, if you need additional trenching, expect to pay an extra $4 to $12 per linear foot. Keep in mind that these costs are on top of the plumbing repair costs, and they don’t account for labor costs. Consult your excavation specialist to determine an accurate estimate for your job.

The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities. 

When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25 per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.

The cost for residential excavation is $3,200 on average, ranging between $50 and $200 per cubic yard. Total costs could range from $500 to $15,000, depending on the project type, yard size, and soil type. 

When a project needs an excavator, the contractor will subcontract one as part of the larger project. If you hire an excavation specialist, you can expect to pay between $40 and $180 per hour. When excavating, if you have soil with excessive rocks or clay deposits, expect an additional cost of $200 to $1,200.

Warm weather seasons like spring and summer are ideal times to excavate due to the ground being softer and easier to dig through. However, it is important to note that bad weather, like heavy blizzard conditions or torrential rainfall, can prolong the project length, increasing costs. That’s why it’s best to avoid excavating during winter or hurricane season, depending on your home’s location.

While completing an excavation project yourself is possible, we don’t recommend it. You’ll likely need to buy or rent the equipment necessary for the job. This equipment costs as $100 per hour or $2,200 weekly, increasing by as much as 50% for larger jobs. 

In addition, completing an excavating job yourself poses a safety risk. If proper marking hasn't occurred, you risk hitting buried cables and other critical piping, like gas and water lines. Additionally, if working with excavation equipment, you’ll need to steer clear of any overhead wires. Leaving this project to an excavating professional is best.
